Title: USING ADVANCED COMPOSITE MATERIALS IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT
Abstract: 
Nowadays advanced composite materials are widely spread over the world. These materials are such as chemical building materials, polymers, epoxies, and polyesters, and synthetic fibers and their fabrics and products. Chemical building materials are used in manufacturing advanced composite materials, such as high strength concrete (HSC), selfcompacting concrete (SCC), ultra-high strength concrete (UHSC), and light weight concrete (LWC). Also, chemical building materials together with synthetic fibers are used in manufacturing fiber reinforced concrete (FRC), and in manufacturing fiber reinforced polymers fabrics those are used as external techniques for repair, strengthening, retrofitting most types of structures. This not only helps in repairing, strengthening, and retrofitting structures, but also helps in development and accommodating structures. This is a big value, as in some structures the cost of demolition are highly expensive than repair. Also, some buildings are of big value, such as buildings owing special heritage such as historic buildings, and building with special architectural heritage, those are a commonwealth and the main source of income in many countries over the world. Summary of some research and examples from real life of the efficiency of using advanced composite materials in construction industry are presented herein. Also methodologies for enhancing the efficiency of the FRP external strengthening techniques are presented.
